Main Body: '86 Tomahawk
Wings/pylons: '87 Vindicator

The Mega Marines is a self-contained inter-dimensional expeditionary force; they operated completely cut off from the main Joe team. The Division is broken up into three different units including two field teams, and a support team. One of their most valuable assets, is the Vortex dropship.

The Vortex is an amazing piece of future technology combining the speed of a subsonic jet and the maneuverability of a helicopter.
The Vortex provides the Mega Marine team with a rapidly deployable troop transport and air support gun ship.

The idea for this vehicle came to me in a dream...I know that sounds cheesy, but its true. I had a busted up Tomahawk, and knew I wanted to do something with it at some point. It was in a dream that I saw a vehicle with the body of the Tomahawk but instead of a helicopter it had wings with massive fans...Upon waking up, I searched through bins of parts and vehicle shells until I came across a spare Vindicator. The Vindicator was cut up and I stuck the pylons of that onto the Tomahawk. This has been my single most ambitious custom project to date and It's not perfect by any means, but it is super cool seeing something from a dream brought to life.
